Rolex Explorer II 1655 Freccione with black dial, orange hand and steel bracelet

Rolex 1655 Freccione examples in well-preserved condition are not easy to find. This one has an unpolished case and a nicely aged dial, and it comes on its original bracelet, dated 1978, the year the watch was made. It matches the ROW-signed movement for the US market.
